"Gift" is exactly the right word for Rosemary. Sharing her story has been its own kind of gift. There's something healing about celebrating her legacy and knowing that her wisdom might touch others too. Thank you for taking the time to listen and for your kind words. They mean more than you know.

My goodness, Aransas, this episode sits like a huge lump in my throat. Everyone needs Rosemary, what a beautiful story...gorgeous woman, vibrant, loving, truly ALIVE. I am enthralled and inspired and deeply sad she is gone. BUT, she is not gone, she lives so beautifully in you, as I said before, and believe even more now, is that YOU embody her, she is so alive in this beautiful friend, Aransas.  I Love this, and I adore you. 

This memory you have created for yourself and your family is also going to be so beautiful to have and cherish.  I plan to follow in her footsteps, I love the thought of living fully by nurturing and caring for others, it truly gives us more energy, and be so very authentic. I do believe this is a HUGE part of the secret of life.  Let's all do what brings us joy, and have that joy reflect as a mirror in those we love. 

Thank you, thank you, thank you.  xoxoxoxoxo

Your words have moved me to tears. Thank you for seeing my grandmother so clearly through this episode. What a beautiful observation that she lives on in me. That's the greatest gift and responsibility I could ever receive. I'm still learning to embody her spirit every day, and hearing you say you see her in me gives me such comfort.

Creating this memory has been healing in ways I couldn't have imagined. While the grief comes in waves, having her voice, her stories, and her wisdom preserved like this feels like keeping a piece of her magic alive.

Thank you for your beautiful words and for being the kind of person who recognizes and celebrates what makes others special. That's an uplifter quality too, you know. ❤️
